Valentine’s Week. Love: To The Other Shore

Barn Light. Love, To The Other Shore

Barn light. Afternoon

 

“It was a time when they both loved each other best, without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity. Life would still present them with other moral trials, of course, but that no longer mattered: they were on the other shore.”

– Gabriel Garcia Marquez, “Love In The Time Of Cholera.”

“Love In The Time Of Cholera” is one of the great love stories of all time, I believe, and I have always loved the way Marquez defines love. It is the way I feel about love, that it takes us to the other shore.
